Fiercely Brilliant

Candy Barone is a powerful mentor to leaders. And even though she has had lots of success in this area, she notes that she was very much working in the pushing-aggressive, masculine type energy that she used during 20 years in corporate. This episode is the story of Candy’s “unraveling” of who she was and how she was running her business. She got to the point of severe burnout and had to give herself permission just to “be.” We talk about how she learned to lean into the Divine Feminine and her soul even more.

Today Candy works with leaders in the capacity to shift the level of consciousness and raise the level of leadership. We talk about how to create an enlightened "Soul-ciety," and how that looks in the world. If you have ever pivoted, or want to change gears in your business, it can be scary. There is some discontent, then you must make the hard choices about what to give up or allow things to fall away. As Candy says, we need to learn how to do the dance of learning a deeper soul’s purpose. What she shared that needs to happen is giving permission to change course, maybe even hate what you have been doing, but allow yourself to restore and get off the grid in a way that works for you, and provides a gentleness of mind/body/spirit.

Coming from the place of being a very driven, high achieving alpha female, the way Candy shares how she learned to “allow the process of creation” versus having to hustle is inspiring. Additionally, Candy shares the steps for how to start making this pivot.

Candy Barone is a badass, heart-centered soul guide and thought leader. She is a leadership development expert, international speaker, and Amazon best-selling author. Through her unique frameworks and training. Candy guides individuals and teams through conscious leadership transformation, where they learn how to powerfully influence and create impact from a space of deep authenticity, compassion, integrity, and grace.

Eva is all about ending gender and racial discrimination. That’s a hugely audacious goal she works toward today, and she's had to grow into it. This episode details her journey and what she went through to get to her “yummy” business. After she stepped into the social media/marketing world, she realized that doing general marketing for clients seemed “soulless” to her.

Having a background in gender studies and inclusion in school, eventually, Eva realized that if she began targeting the women who were doing work around diversity and inclusion, it would be a better match for her values. So she shifted to niching to this new audience and loves the bigger difference this makes.

We talk about what it is to be a mission-driven business owner, and how the big mission shapes, molds, and guides us on the path. This is a good episode if you want to follow your heart. You will hear the gremlins that emerge, and ways to move through those niggling thoughts that are trying to hold you back.

Eva gives a glimpse into her journey of “being” and getting aligned as she moved from doing just marketing work, and stepped into working with thought leadership. Because it’s not just about the strategy! It really is about who you have to become along the way.

You will love this episode if you are desiring a pivot in your business. There are very specific tools and mindsets needed to step more into your big mission, and Eva’s very real and authentic story will validate your journey if you have wanted to step into your next-level mission.

In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to live in the world as an empath. Sometimes, as a more sensitive person, it’s easy to experience shame or difficulty accepting yourself. Listen in as we talk about what it means to be an empath, and in Tiffany’s story you will hear how she had amazing gifts but was made to believe she was mentally ill.

As a little kid, she was seeing spirits and was extremely tapped into the other dimensions. Sadly, no one in her very religious family got her, so she was a very misunderstood and troubled child. At age 8, she began the cycle of being medicated. In fact, at one point, by the time she was 18, she was on 25 drugs which she stayed on for 20+ years.

After all this plus having weird health issues, she determined that she would have to find her own solutions as traditional medicine was failing her. This dove her into a deep study of spirituality and other healing modalities.

What’s fascinating is that even in spite of getting shock treatments and having horrible physical and mental health issues, Tiffany knew that she was here to experience joy. So that became her path to learn how to heal herself and now others.

This episode is extremely inspiring as there are many nuggets that we share for how to stay hopeful and create a new life. You will also love hearing how to be an “empowered” empath, what that is, and how to mine the gifts in it.

If you are looking to have more impact and income, you will definitely want to listen to this episode where Therese talks about how trauma can hold you back in both of these areas. Most of us think of trauma as the "Big T trauma's" like rape or witnessing an horrific event. But research is now showing that the "small "t" traumas can cause huge challenges in later life because for most of us, we have no idea how they are still impacting us all these years later. Therese shares some personal stories (being picked last in school because she was a sickly child) and how that set her up with a trauma response.

Trauma is so subtle, that most of us don’t recognize how it shows up, and when it does, it can slow down your progress, get in the way of you making the money you want, and even prevent you from reaching the people you know you are here to reach. You will hear the three reasons that haven’t reached your potential that will blow you away! (Most of these things are hidden or unconscious, so listen as Therese uncovers what they are.)

Then you’ll hear the top tips to release the trauma so you can move forward and be in more of a state of freedom. Ultimately, to live our fiercely brilliant lives, we must learn how to navigate our past, so this episode is very helpful in helping you let go!

Bridget Costello survived the unimaginable...the loss of her son from a drug overdose. In this episode we share about his life, and how she managed the to survive the event that would change everything for her family. Bridget shares the story of getting pregnant at 19. That took her off the course of her life’s dreams, yet she had tremendous family support raising her son Conor. But sadly, his addiction escalated such that after numerous rehabs and attempts to help him sober up, he died.

What is remarkable about this story is two things. First, that she was able to go on. We share in detail what she did and how she navigated this most horrific event. Part of what kept her going was her two younger daughters who needed their mom (and dad) to be present for them. But what she also realized, from the advice of her very wise Irish grandmother Delia who had also lost a baby, was that in order for her to start to recover, she had to say yes to everything. That meant taking all the support that was offered and making sure that she did not perish along with her son. She kept making herself available to new things and eventually landed on a career as a Development Director for non-profits that has been richly rewarding.

Next, we talk about the legacy she was able to create in her son’s name. Bridget’s family has created “For the Love of Conor” foundation which is a non-profit designed to help the youth of Arizona have enrichment activities, so they don’t make bad choices for themselves. You can learn more about that here (and donate if you feel so inclined.) Each January there is a local event designed to raise funds to support three non-profits. You can learn more here.

So this truly is a story of turning tragedy into something good.

Bridget Costello began her work with non-profit organizations. She served as the Regional Coordinator for The American Ireland Fund, an international charitable organization that has raised over $300 million for worthy causes in Ireland. Additionally, she served as The Development Director for Saint Mary’s High School in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, where she raised sizable funds for both organizations’ operating budgets. In 2008 she founded Emerald Consulting, a consulting firm that specializes in elevating non-profit organizations through inspiration and education.

Lisa Cherney is an industry pioneer. 22 years ago, she created the brand "Conscious Business" when not many people were using that term. From her decades in business, she has learned that if you are a mission-driven business owner, then your business is like a spiritual bootcamp. On the show she shares about how she built a 7-figure business and then realized it wasn't making her happy, so she let it go to create a business that was much more aligned with who she was and one that would make her happy.

In this industry that are tons of formulas and people selling "blueprints" that are designed to get you to a certain place. But what if you don't need more formulas or strategies? What if you already have done that or know what needs to happen? The truth is that at a certain point in your business, you need "Unmentoring" as Lisa calls it. You need to tune inward to discover what you are tolerating, see what holds you back, and blast through the beliefs that no longer serve.

Lisa's story is inspiring in that she shares the steps to have the permission to follow your knowing and then the courage to take the steps to get there.

Lisa Cherney has been advising millionaire entrepreneurs for over 20 years. She is the host of the ground-breaking confession-based GFR (Get F’n Real) podcast.

Shayla Boyd-Gill had a successful engineering job that was making great money. But when her young son's teacher told her that because he was smarter than most of the kids, keeping him in school would "dumb him down" so she suggested a private school or homeschooling. Initially, Shayla freaked out but found herself being willing to leave her job to homeschool her son. She had no idea how she’d do it, or how to bring in money. But one of her ways of finding the answers is by asking, “How can I” and then waiting. This led her to find the right community and the next steps for her to replace her income.

The answer to “What are you really good at” inspired her to realize she was really good at birthing babies! Thus, she moved into being a childbirth educator and doula. From here, she had a thriving business, but it came at a cost of no time and always being on the go, so she had to shift again. Hitting this wall again taught her that she needed a system to grow/scale, and how to run a business. We talk about her journey, learning to say no, allowing her business to grow and expand, and now to finally be the CEO that serves her life.

This episode is loaded with inspiration as Shayla shares her intuitive hits and ways to follow guidance by having Radical Faith.

(This is a replay of episode 24 published in February 2021)

In this episode Therese talks about something that many, many people deal with, but may not be aware of. Therese says, "I feel like a crusader against shame."

It's hidden, subtle, and is one of the things that you can count on to hold you back in business and life. It doesn't allow you to step up to fully be all of who you are. It robs you of the ability to charge what you would like to earn. It keeps you from shining your light and being the badass that you know you are. And sadly, if you are mission-driven, you can't reach the people you are here to support if you have shame telling you the lies that it does.

Listen so you can learn the subtle (and sneaky) ways shame shows up. And then follow Therese as she does some "shame busting" exercises for you.

Grief is a topic that most people have a hard time navigating. We want to brush off how hard/heavy and big it is, and we are not trained in the best ways to be with the grieving. In this episode, Shannon shares her journey of suffering six miscarriages and the lessons it taught her.

Ultimately one of the "gifts of grief" was that she completely changed her career and now works with women who have suffered from a miscarriage.

This is a powerful episode in that all of us have been touched by grief, but we often don't know how to "be" with it. Listen in and learn some ways to cope and if you are going through grief, you'll find validation for your experience here.

After experiencing six miscarriages, Shannon Passalacqua knew she needed to use her pain to help other women heal. While experiencing her losses, she kept searching for communities and other women who could help her through such a devastating time in her life. She found that most women didn't want to talk about it and that there weren't very many resources available.

Shannon vowed to help change this so that women would have a place to turn. She created the Miscarriage Warrior App, a safe and loving community where women can grieve as well as learn tools to heal through their pain.

Shannon devotes her life to helping women with their pregnancy loss as well as training doctors and nurses how to better understand what a women is experiencing and how to provide a more compassionate environment.
